[Relationship between dermatoglyphic variability and finger length in genetic disorders: Down's syndrome].

Abstract excerpt

Palmar and digital dermatoglyphics were compared in Down's syndrome patients with that in a control sample from a population. All dermatoglyphic changes characteristic of Down's syndrome were confirmed. The ridge counts along digital midlines were significantly lower in Down patients as compared to control data, especially, in little fingers, which corresponds to finger shortening in Down's syndrome. The findings...
